The Church of Santa Croce in Alassio, located on a panoramic hill, was built in the 11th century by Benedictine monks from Gallinara Island in Romanesque style. Characterized by its original apse and a 16th-century portico, the structure lay in ruins for centuries before being restored between the 1950s and 1970s.
